Save

3 million people positioned at significant elevation on the island's central plateau. Toamasina is Madagascar's primary port city, where Indian Ocean trade routes converge with local Malagasy culture. Mahajanga is Madagascar's primary port city on the northwest coast, serving as a major hub for commerce and transport across the island. Sambava is a coastal city in Madagascar's Sava Region, with a population of around 89,000.

Why it works

Rather than one city, this threads Antananarivo, Toamasina and Mahajanga and more into a single trip, so you see more of Madagascar in one go. Spend longest wherever suits you.
